Gee, what do i even post here anymore.

Something to tide time over with

2010-12-16T05:28:00.000-08:00

Remote.

2010-11-11T03:50:00.000-08:00

So.I've been very remote on the net as of late.
The truth is,I've been trying to work on things.Like right now,I'm trying to learn me some vector programs!As in software.Which is funny 'cause well....I need to learn how to use the program before anything okay enough.But that's really the case of everything.Not gain,no pain!Right?But I still miss traditional media a lot.Sure I've been sketching a lot too,but that really doesn't amount to anything if I'm occupied with other things.
Then I've been trying to animate some.One reason I want to learn how to make vector stuff is that I want to make animations with vectors later on.Buuut,that's still in the long, long run of things.So far I have a few hand drawn ball bounces and that's pretty much it. One thing I am trying right now, is making some frame by frame ball-bounces in openCanvas (a program I am so much more used and one that doesn't kill my computer upon saving a file) and then putting them together in Monkeyjam.I have plans for the animatic to end up not being just a bouncing ball,but I want to correct the bouncing itself before I move on to that.I haven't really the slightest idea of timing,so with this, I'm going to work on that :)
But even when the endresult is just a really amateurish something,just animating anything really is fun.

...Unlike animating in synfig.;>__>
Okay,so it's really just the fault of my own inexperience an' all that,but seriously.This thing has the learning curve of a skyscraper.Or hey,maybe try some other vector animating software before whining about anything.
But here's something I made that, compared to all the other stuff, came out kind of okay.

*Click*

Synfig, I will learn how to use you properly.

Also,trying to make some journal-comics soon,but failing hard as I postpone everything.
Also,would want to out up a real site on day.

But you know.Baby steps.

Random doodles

2010-08-07T13:53:00.000-07:00

Thought I should post something since I haven't posted anywhere really, in what feels like an eternity.

Yup,so,just some ole' random doodles!

Our cat.Sitting on the monitor.Me.Drawing.(Trying to)

Juniper Lee!Yeah,haven't drawn this character in a while, and this is actually just a marker doodle on the back of an old sketchpad(since you know,those cardboard backs are really nice to draw on randomly),also,watercolours slapped on!I think the hair came out awesome.

Ninja tiiiime.

Oh yeah,saw Toy Story 3 some time ago.After seeing it,I felt like expressing my feelings more accurately,instead of just exclaiming 'epic squeee~' all over the internet.

Toy Story 3 made me giggle :3

Skygiiiiiirl.Crayon-doodle.

You know what else I saw? Inception.Go do yourself a favor and just see it.

Horrible person (Night and mid-night drawins)

2010-07-24T01:42:00.000-07:00

This first one isn't a yesterday night drawing tho,it's a bit earlier ;) as in,few days earlier.

Textures really are fun to experiment with :D It took me a long time, but I finally got around to experimenting with photoshop brushes.The results are funnnn~ I mean they look fun.Were fun to draw.

I made this one brush that looks a lot like pencil on paper.I guess I'm just sorta old-skool like that :P

And it's a really nice brush to sketch with too!

This one reminds me of those pastel drawings a lot.Though the canvas ain't half as awesome as real paper,the lines look really nice ;)

Some in-progress out-of-progress work

2010-07-23T02:10:00.000-07:00

Just some unfinished drawings and stuff.Will update for more~

Post-party dribbles

2010-06-23T01:58:00.000-07:00

School has officially ended as of yesterday!Whooooot
I will probably be looking for a new school(university) to start out in, before this month ends.Although, I would rather not,getting this school stuff done in the early years of my life will probably be for the better in the long run, so yeah.Drawing post-pone! D:

In the meantime though,here's a little something I drew yesterday:

I kinda wanted to test out some textures I had gotten from bittbox.com ,but then it just evolved from that into this.Not sure where this doodle is going but it was sort of a good practice.Pink is sort of hard to paint without looking wrong.

Yes,that's a dragon.And yes,I am pretty horrible at drawing dragons.Didn't watch enough dragon-films in my childhood )':

Cheshire hearts Speedy

2010-04-20T09:04:00.000-07:00

A little something I started yesterday.I've been having lots of little outbursts of energy,and lots of little ideas too, so I guess I'm getting a bit more creative is all.

I will finish this once exams are over!Meaning it'll take a long time probably.

Go me

2010-03-15T15:21:00.001-07:00

More practisin' on sketches!

2009-11-23T14:43:00.000-08:00

Sketches I did today.

Things done while I shoulda been studying

2009-11-23T09:37:00.000-08:00

Stupid ugly things.

All of 'em done during the free time I could hack up before and after things inbetween.>:[

This one was made this afternoon.Quick sketch based off a fan-design.Not really a fan of this pairing or such,but the design is pretty neat.

Some quick color-editing and et voila!A quick and generic boring sketch./depressed

Yesterday morning doodle

2009-10-25T11:12:00.000-07:00

Putting this one on hold until I get more free time from moving and studying.

Junk in the trunk

2009-10-25T03:52:00.000-07:00

We're moving!So here's some old junk I found in places.

Yeah,I'm feelin pretty nostalgic about these... XD

Old sketches are old.

junk on school notebooks that didn't go to use apparently.

Reach to the skies!

More silly old drawings!

Posting-time

2009-09-09T08:39:00.000-07:00

After reading so much other people's blogs I felt like updating mine a bit too >.>

Ok,so the first one is just random stuff that ppopped up after done fretting over school,drawn over some old english homework,and the second one is Chrona from Soul Eater(which is an awesome manga/anime btw),drawn inbetween some homework in my russian notebook.I still have that hw to finish ... 9.9;
Also,changed layout again.

more Alice

2009-08-21T02:09:00.000-07:00

I should post more often.Gonna be away for a while,so this'll probably be my last post for the entire summer ;>.>

Um.Yeah.

2009-07-23T09:40:00.000-07:00

Might just use this as an avatar somewhere.Just might.Maybe.
I'm feeling in a particularly artsy mood today,so I'll try to draw stuff as much as I can.Fun stuff would be good.

'Kay.

2009-07-20T07:17:00.000-07:00

Some drawlings made at a friends place with said friends sister.The sad part is that both of these drawings were made by me,and not by her 7-year-old sister.

The characters are Jenny and Frida in case they're not recognizable.

Hmyeah.I've had a pretty full week.All sorts of summer-stuff and beach-going.

Sing with me

2009-07-04T00:13:00.000-07:00

Just woke up from The Songfestival here at Tallinn.

And I gotta say,it's nice to be back to all the singing(throat-scratching as always :)).And of course the masses of people,young singers who are tired and sleepy and the weather changing every 2 hours.It's fun.
Yesterday was rehearsal day.The stage was filled to the brim with singers from young to old.Meaning there are probably even more people this year than the last time :D

More links as to what the songfestival is:Lauluväljak,wikipedia

There were lots of young people there too(duh),here's one of them.I can't remember the color of her jacket tho.It might've been....nope.Can't recall.

So I'm slowly crawling out of my art rut,but I still don't have anything really new to post,so here's some really old stuff I wanna get out of my system:

I really like painting clouds,especially in opencanvas,it's really paintery :D

Sometimes when I don't have paper at hand and I just have to quickly squiggle a thought or idea down,I just draw on it.The hand that is.Yes,yes,I know,who would do such a thing,right?

Altamira

2009-05-21T08:17:00.000-07:00

Well,I already posted this on el-jay,so why not here?

"Something we did in art history class!The theme was "Summer expectations".We had to imitate impressionism,so the teach gave us some sticks of chalk(rasvakriidid andis meile)
Of course,my expectations for the summer are drawing and OC Tournaments! 8D ...Yes,and writing stories for my own charas and developing them and draw them lots.nwn
Anyways,that's why I drew this girl.Her name's Altamira and she's a goddess,but she doesn't know that.She was new when I made her the day before art-class,but that was 3 weeks ago,so,uuuuuh....now she's not that new of a character anymore ee;"

I titled it "Altamira and The World"

Daily sketches

2009-05-16T06:27:00.000-07:00

Just to show off that I have indeed been drawing in recent months.

These are from yesterday.

Re-vamp

2009-05-10T01:57:00.000-07:00

And we're goin' live!Argh!what took me so long?
Well,I could pretty much customize the layout for an eternity,but that would be pretty pointless methinks.The current layout is fine as it is.At least I like it now.

Here's where I got the banner from:
It's old,but shows off my love for the use of ballpoint pens pretty well :)

Gloved and gloveless

2009-05-03T04:31:00.000-07:00

I am really lazy,so I'll make this post extra short:

Here's a character I made around 2006 or so,and this is a concept drawing I 'painted',all the while failing to re-design her to a bit less dull-colored version.
She is from a comic concept I'm trying to develop, which revolves around a magic detective team trying to solve mysteries and gruesome murders of the magical world.All-the while without exposing too much of that world.
Her fake name is Alice.She fights with magical stone gloves.

Steampunk character

2009-04-29T12:42:00.001-07:00

I've been mingling over a new character now for a few days.I even have a little backdrop story made -the city of Auropolis,a looming,growing steampunk city,has this outcast girl,who isn't even supported by her family(Who honestly have no idea what she's really up to).Her dream is to become a full-fledged inventor of things useful and interesting.She likes chemistry as well.I think I'd like to make a comic of her.In estonian and english.With a bit of french.
These are just some try-out quick-paintings I made in opencanvas to get the hang of her colours and features.She's based on one of the paintings I posted earlier here.

This is something more laid out now,but it's still kinda un-finished as well.

6 hours on and off in OpenCanvas.

Cat in the sun

2009-04-26T05:36:00.000-07:00

It was really hot one day so I started this.It was mainly for fun,but I tried having practice with gradients and patterned backgrounds along the way.It's still unfininshed,and not quite how I wanted it,but I guess I'll have to settle for now.

The cat's in there coz he really loves sunshine.Mmmm...sunshine.

Hourglass

2009-04-25T22:18:00.000-07:00

Time is of the essence (I've always wanted to say that)

My venture into 3D last year.It's an hourglass made in Art of Illusion.I don't think I'd be able to repeat that anymore though.After AoI I tried experimenting with Blender.Time ran out,however,and I had to run into some school-work.:I

Drawing quota of the day

2009-04-25T00:58:00.000-07:00

Of yesterday.

The Sky Is The Limit - WIP

2009-04-20T07:48:00.000-07:00

Some music to set the mood:

Home alone

2009-04-15T06:10:00.000-07:00

I will be all alone today.Everyone's out of the house,so it's party time!(Nope,I'm lying!I have nothing fun to do!Just draw is all!)

Saw this weird children's play one evening

This was one of the characters.

I've completely forgotten about this.It's kinda old and unfinished.It'll stay that way too(maybe I'm just too lazy to finish something a year and half old.)

A little something I made on Scribbler

Well,that's all for today!

Hi.This is my new blog.
I'll mostly be posting my artwork,unfinished art-work and sketches,but also stuff I find or photos or just mindless ramblings(hopefully not those tho).

Need a blog title,make up a new word for it,yes.
